The never ending self-punishment!

I love Karnataka and every bit of its beauty!
Today lets explore the Jain Pilgrim  in Hassan - Shravanabelagola
Lord-Gomateshwara popularly known as BahuBali

Lord Bahubali along with his brother fought many battles together and then they fought against each other for Kingdom , killed thousands of people blood shed.

One day Lord Bahubali realised that he was fighting for matter and for being attached to materialism , he is said to have meditated in a standing position kayotsarga (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kayotsarga)  as a self punishment for 14 years during which climbing plants grew around his legs.
He purified his mind body and soul and even after 14 years of purification he did not get enlightenment.

One day a sage passed by and a drop of tear fell down from Lord's Eyes and the Lord asked the sage -
"I gave up all material in life and something is still missing and dont know what is it"
Sage replied - You have bought a false sense of humility in you, you were a king one day but today you bow down to everyone including a beggar including a rock but cannot bow down to your enemy" and this is what is holding you back.

Tallest monolithic statue in the world - 59 feet carved out of granite built and Installed in 981 AD
Located at Hassan District in Karnataka about 150 kms from Bangalore .




It is not the futility (uselessness) of the Action , but the multiple injury of the Intent that is violence.




Jainism likely emerged in 6th century is older then Buddhism 
Jain is derived from Ji - Jina means conqueror - the one who has conquered all materialistic desires.
Jain philosophy distinguishes soul (consciousness) from the Body (matter)

Seated cross legged in a Aakasha Mudra , this posture brings clarity and intuition to the mind
Yes whatever i might lose in future is only Matter-Material which can be earned again.




Altitude of 3350 feet above sea level
On the way one can see scenic beauty 





Serenity at its Best








Expose yourself to sunlight.
Dont let the material hide the natural powers .
Natural Powers are obtained from Universe and nature.





The best way to detoxify your body is sitting in the sunlight for hours
I decided to sit for an hour.

The biggest festival is Mahamastabhisheka which happens once every 12 years.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahamastakabhisheka
The festival just got over 2 days ago for the year 2018 - it was a 6 month long festival.



For the consciousness to act within the material context of universe.



Enjoying Nature and that is what i call as - LIFE.
"It does not mean iam lazy it means i dont want to live another man's life - (meaning) i will not be able to utilize my full potential in another man's role -that would mean cheating myself and everybody else"
But most of the people you meet everyday are playing the role of another man? Selfish and Greed!

And in the mean time i want to enjoy nature.




This is the pillar where Bahubali renounced all material thing including his own life
This is called as "tyagada khamba "– "pillar of sacrifice"






More than 500 Inscriptions and stone sculptures




 

Seek blessings from the Lord : Right faith , Right knowledge and the Right conduct







A sexy pose!
















Sat for almost an hour in the sunlight 





Exploring the Inscriptions dated to the 7th century


Books!




Beautiful , graceful and breathtaking stone art.



Open eyes means the detachment from the material world and the never ending self punishment the Lord gave to himself for being materialistic.



Energy that is positive and pure
The hero of Karnataka


Upon the completion of Mahamastabhisheka , workers remove the arrangements





Lord Bahubali or Lord Gomateshwara teaches us how to live a life without harming any living being .






Kayotsarga means to give up body comforts


The uppermost status of Lord Gomateshwara that needs to be respected
Awakening the consciousness and releasing the stress



Yes the iam the director of my life but my aim for the year 2019 is to become a director even in my career.
A migration leaving India by Mid 2019 is the cognitive thought element that is currently arising in my heart.





While i continue with my Aakasha Mudra 
(Aakasha Mudra is performed to remove anger , fear , insecurity and all toxic waste in the body to re-unite with collective consciousness a cognitive element)

Etymologically, consciousness implies one's ability to know and perceive. Through consciousness, one can have knowledge of the external world or one's own mental state.

Infinite Knowledge , Infinite Perception and Infinite Power




Here i present you some beautiful picture of Mahamastabhisheka - i missed the event but yes i have collected a few pics from the Media .





High above , towering million crowds.




The animal like instinct which some people exhibit is the proof that we have a animal history , but lets evolve from the animal like instincts , the purpose of life is evolution , lets leave the animal history behind us.




The Digambar -Nude form of Lord standing in a open lotus depicts atonement.
Bloomed as a cultural corridor of  Incredible India.
